Anything that's sufficiently technical will develop a jargon, and this project is no exception. Here's a Translator's Guide to the more obscure terminology and abbreviations you're going to encounter here.

Things

CCP - Command and Control Processor - the computer that sits in the middle and conducts the orchestra of sensors and dquipment. Currently either an STMicro device or an mBed.

EPS - nothing to do with Star Trek conduits, this stands for Expanded Polystyrene sheet, more usually used for solid wall and floor insulation. We're building the instrument package with it.

HAB - High Altitude Ballooning

ICP - Instrument CoProcessor. In our case, a Samsung GT-5800 Android smartphone that wraps up GPS, accelerometer, gravitometer, gyro and camera, not to mention radio downlink and a nice, loud beeper, into one small package with its own battery.
